在经历了由于板块构造学说的兴起带来的学术思想变革之后,地球科学所研究的各个领域都取得了许多重要的进展。然而,随着现代科学技术日益迅猛地向前发展,客观世界简单化模型经常受到其内部不断揭露出来的复杂本质的严峻考验,不可避免地遇到了一系列新的重大挑战。这就客观地把一些具有战略意义的问题,推到当代地块科学研究的前沿,其中最关键的是大陆及其边缘的研究和地球内部的探测。 大陆及其边缘是当代地球科学研究的前沿 五十—六十年代以海洋地质、地球物理调查所获得的大量资料为基础,早期简单的板块构造研究继承魏格纳关于大陆漂移的思想,提出了新的全球构造学说。过去准静态 After experiencing the changes of academic thought brought by the rise of plate tectonics, many important developments have been made in various fields studied by Earth Science. However, as modern science and technology progressively move forward more and more rapidly, the objective world simplification model is often subjected to the severe test of its intricately exposed complex nature and inevitably encounters a series of major new challenges. This objectively pushed some strategic issues to the forefront of contemporary mass scientific research. The most crucial of these are the research on the mainland and its periphery and the exploration inside the Earth. The Mainland and Its Fringe are the Forefront of Contemporary Earth Science Research Based on the large amount of data obtained from marine geology and geophysical surveys in the 1950s and 1960s, the early and simple study of plate tectonics inherited Wegner’s thinking on continental drift and proposed New Global Tectonics.
